MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU KT266A Motherboard Review

Introduction

This content was originally featured on Amdmb.com and has been converted to PC Perspective's website. Some color changes and flaws may appear.

Throughout the nearly two years of running Amdmb.com in its various forms, there have been only a few constants in the business. The one of interest now, is the relation to a board or manufacturer’s popularity to the popularity of the corresponding forum in the AMD Forums. Whenever we see a new motherboard manufacturer becoming prominent or a particular motherboard gaining momentum, I have always notice the influx of traffic to that forum. That is true in MSI’s case recently, as well. The MSI Forum has been getting quite a lot more traffic than it had only a couple of months ago.

Why all the excitement then? MSI has been making Athlon-based motherboards since the beginning including the K7T Pro, the K7T266 Pro and the K7 Master-S. All the past boards have been very high quality and been reasonably fast. The K7T266 Pro2 motherboard will be trying to continue the tradition as they move onto the latest AMD chipset, the VIA KT266A.
